Moving to Friendship Village Chesterfield was the second-best lifetime decision I have ever made. Marrying my wife was the first.

Moving to Friendship Village Chesterfield was the second best decision my wife and I ever made. Glad we made the decision when we did rather than thinking we were not ready and waiting until it was too late to enjoy the carefree living. It is like being on a never ending cruse. Our children appreciate we made the decision rather than burdening them with needing to make decisions about our care as we aged.

Experienced a slow time getting through the security session so needed more time to finish this review here on site.

Aptly named, Friendship Village is a very friendly, welcoming place. And most important, it is a place where services consistently exceed expectations.

I love it here! This is a fantastic place to be. All of the staff are very competent, friendly and helpful. The food is good. We have complimentary house cleaning and laundry service. They offer a campus full of activities like the library, a small convenience store, medical services, pool activities, a gym and Chapel. I'm a member of the writing group and there are many other groups available for your interests like a drama club, a book club and more.

I came here because of the great workshop. Then, I discovered many other great activities: discussion groups, book club, bocce, a putting green and general friendship. The Care Center is also impressive for quality of care and kindness of staff.

There are lots of activities and a good dining room. Everything really works beautifully here. Transportation is good for getting where you want to go. The people are very friendly. When I came here, it was easy to move in. The move in process was great.

I enjoy living in beautiful surroundings without the responsibility of having to care for the lawn myself. I'm a member of the Garden Club and participate in the pool exercise class and gym classes, weekly. And the gym just got brand new equipment and our trainers have helped us to start using it. Living adjacent to Faust Park as we do, I volunteer in both historical and landscaping projects. And I also bicycle in the park. We recently had occasion to utilize our Life Care option when my wife entered the Care Center following an illness. The transition from Independent Living was seamless. The nurses and aides were just outstanding and we could not have received better care anywhere. The social worker assisted us with moving back into independent living as outpatients and has arranged for continuing outpatient therapy. All these transitions and arrangements have been handled by Friendship Village very smoothly.

I had some health issues that cropped up that caused me to move from my Villa that I just loved to a retirement community. This was essential in many ways as I could no longer drive. Lots of changes. My brother brought me her and I toured with Nathan and was sold on everything...especially the way the staff were treating the residents. I thought to myself, "I wonder if they will be this nice when I move in?" I will be here two years in August. The staff is even nicer than before and as time goes on each department serves the residents with kindness and consideration. I am impressed with maintenance and house service as they are friendly and will stay on a task until they get it right for you. The food is phenomenal, the chef is top quality and all his department follows suit. The business office is right there when you need them. I have had cause to use Health Servies and they have an OT/Pt right here so I didn't have to go out of the building. Transportation drives me to all of my Dr. appointments and they have scheduled times for shopping and drugstore trips. There are so many activities, you could be busy every day. My favorite is Bocce Ball and I have taken up acrylic painting which is new for me and fun. I have a two-bedroom apartment with wonderful space and windows overlooking the trees in the woods! They have not paid me to write this, I say it all the time to people who come touring in the halls. Give it a tour, you will not be disappointed.

I've been working here at Friendship Village for almost 8 years in July. After doing this work for nearly 20 years and working in different facilities, this is hands down, THE best place I've worked thus far. I told Ken(Our Administrator) this is my last stop as far as Nursing goes, and I wholeheartedly meant it! I'm as grateful and over joyed as I was then, as Lisa Howard was a part of my hiring process. To now seeing that same Lisa transcend to our now Director of Nursing! Super proud, and couldn't think of a more hard working, dedicated, humble, kind, more deserving person. GREAT place to work. Its a family environment here which makes it an even greater place to live!

Modern facilities offering independent living, assisted living and memory care. Well maintained landscaping with extensive resident involvement. Numerous in house activities and frequent outings to notable area locations. Transportation provided for local shopping and medical appointments. Convenient location for shopping and access to major highways. Location adjacent to Faust park a definite asset.

This has been one of the best moves we have ever made. The people are very friendly and there are so many activities that we can join and meet with other residents. It been a very good experience for us. Many opportunities to volunteer at the new Care Center. It's been great.

Friendship Village has been for us like a child in a playground. Many activities to choose from to all tastes, including physical wellness, chances to learn new things, and socializing with many interesting people. You can be comfortable being yourself.

It is very friendly and a great place to live. I have lived here for two years, arriving just as the pandemic came. They have done an excellent job of making accommodations and keeping us safe.

My mother transferred here to the rehab facility in Chesterfield after surgery. The retirement section looks fantastic. But the rehab facility is old and run down. The system for check in is awful and after I left my mother, I was seriously considering just taking her back home with me. I brought her in and left her in the lobby to go get her belongings from the car and when I came back a few minutes later my mother was gone. They took her back already! I was so frustrated, especially since we can't visit because she would be in isolation for 2 weeks due to COVID. They did finally bring her back up after I became upset for not being able to say goodbye. We are guardians for our mother and they had no idea how to handle that and it wasn't until 5 days after she arrived that I was sent admitting paperwork to sign for her. Due to COVID restrictions we aren't able to visit and she is isolated in quarantine in her room. She was only getting "bed baths" and was not able to shower or wash her hair the entire week she was there. My mother has a lot of accidents and it seems horrifying to think she has gone so long without showering. The place seems very unorganized and my mother said it would take up to 1.5-2 hours to get her medications after calling for the nurses. When I picked her up to come home, they just brought everything out. no review of her situation or medications. Perhaps they are understaffed. Whatever the reason for the unorganized system.. we will not be coming back if my mother should ever need assistance in the future.

As a former Senior Living community manager and now Realtor with a focus on helping senior clients sell their homes and transition into Senior Living - I have a broad knowledge of all of the senior living brands and communities in the St. Louis region. Friendship Village Chesterfield is the premiere senior community offering in West County. Having seen them all, trust me when I say if your exploring Senior Living for yourself or your loved ones, you need to check out FVC!

Generally Im pleased with everything. Im looking forward to being in my new apartment and my overall impression is being happy that Im here. Everyone would want to be in their homes but there comes a time when you need to move on. I take part in the exercise classes here and Ive enjoyed the welcome tables.

My husband and I moved here eight years ago and our experience has been extremely positive. The people, staff, and maintenance people are fantastic. If you have a clogged drain or anything, they show up immediately. I dont have a car anymore, but if I need to go anywhere I can take the bus to go to the doctor, hospital, or shopping. My kids dont have to worry about me being taken care of because when I need to have more care, thats all here. I just feel very safe here.

There are very very very friendly people here. They are helpful. If you have questions, theres a way to get an answer. I volunteered at the butterfly house so Friendship Village was very conveniently located for me. The opportunity for programs that are intellectually stimulating has been my favorite part about living here. One of the things I found impressive was the residents themselves sponsor so many different programs that everyone can participate. But its the residents who are initiating the program. Were loaded with talent here, at least I think so.

I have lived here for 6 years and when we moved in, everything was in place as we expected it. We moved into the new building and because we all moved in around the same time, we all got to know each other pretty well. Everyone was so nice. Its appropriately named. Since Ive been here theres been tremendous growth in the Village.

My experience has been wonderful. The staff, and ultimately the life care was ultimately what brought us here. Through the life care, we were in position to plan ahead, whereas without it we were faced with a lot of uncertainty. Now we know what our cost is going to be. Its a caring community, and there are a lot of activities to do. Its been a total blessing for us to be here.

The main reason i wanted to come here was because of the Life Care. After I moved here I thought it was wonderful. The people are nice, and its just been great. It sure beats raking leaves. Its a wonderful place because the people are so friendly. The staff are accommodating and if something happens, they always do their best to help you.

I like most everything about Friendship Village. A retirement community really benefitted my mother and I decided that when I became of age I would make the move. I have been here about five years. I wanted to move in soon enough to make the transition an easy one while I still had my car and did outside activities. And I think that was a great thing to do. And I would encourage other people to do that.

Its life care. When you join, they take care of you for your life. Its not just a retirement village, its Friendship Village. My wifes parents lived at Friendship Village Sunset Hills, so we decided thats where we needed to go. Ive been here fourteen years. It became our home.

I have lived at Friendship Village for almost 6 years. Contrary to what Marlynne K says, the food has NEVER been horrendous. With the construction going on we were dining in temporary facilities awaiting the new dining room. During this period, sometimes food service was challenging, but always good. Now with the new spacious dining room opening on November 4, 2019 we have a beautiful dining facility with new furniture, china, etc. all prepared in a new world class kitchen by great chefs. The food has definitely been a solid 5 stars in the new dining room!

Having worked here almost two years, Im greatly impressed with the dedication, skill, and loving care provided by the staff. In addition, the residents are amazing, vibrant people who make this community a wonderful place to work and live. Now over halfway through our complete campus makeover, Friendship Village is being positioned to serve the community well for many, many years to come.

We have lived at Friendship Village for about a year. As the name implies, the staff as well as the residents are very friendly. The food is very good and we have few complaints. I like the fact that we are able to sit where we would like to in the dining room. If you are bored here it is your own fault. There are so many activities to do. We went on an outing to see the holiday lights at Tilles Park and that was a treat. We also like the fact that if we need something we can go to the Village Market on campus to get certain items without going out.

I love living here. Especially my apartment. I waited 2.5 years to get into the Rutgers building. I love the balcony, garage, den, and extra space. I dont have to cook, I dont have to rake the leaves, and I dont have to worry about keeping up my house.
